I am a tenured Professor of Circular Economy (Dr. Tech.) at the University of Turku, in the Industrial Engineering and Management group, since 2025. I hold an M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Åbo Akademi University (2003-2008). 

My research explores industrial symbiosis, circular ecosystems, and sustainable business models, integrating life cycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, and digitalization strategies. Collaborating with 20+ industrial partners across diverse sectors, I aim to bridge academic research with practical, implementable solutions that advance the circular economy.

I teach a broad range of subjects: sustainable decision-making, industrial symbiosis, life cycle assessment, operations management, energy technology, and chemical engineering.

I am responsible for courses including Material Flows and Circular Economy, Sustainable Decision Making, Industrial Symbiosis, and Circular Economy in the Maritime Cluster, and co-responsible for Materials and Environment and Life-Cycle Management of Materials.
